re: US soldiers do not desert

Bilow gave you the counter-example of the Civil War. He could just as easily have used the Revolutionary War. Washington was constantly complaining about the very high desertion rate among his troops.

For a U.S. soldier in Iraq, today, to walk away from their unit, would be suicidal. Where would he go?
